Are you sure Greenville/Spartanburg was on the list?? I didn't see it on Android Central's list for the 16th a couple days ago.

I hope, I hope you're right!! :D

Your Right!! I hadn't seen the latest!! Thanks for making my day!! HAHAHA

I'm in Travelers Rest/Furman area, wonder if the 4G will stretch to me? i'm only 15 min to downtown.

It's also on verizon wireless news Center http://news.vzw.com/news/2011/05/pr2011-05-20g.html

Also these surrounding areas i would picture Travelers Rest and Easley will be in there since Central SC which is WAY smaller than Easley is also gonna be Covered because these towns are part of the Greenville Metro statistical area (aka Suburbs) but here is what they posted on thier News Center

The deployment of Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE in Greenville-Spartanburg also provides LTE coverage throughout the surrounding areas of Clemson, Simpsonville, Fountain Inn, Greer, Taylors, Inman, Central, Liberty (Which i will think this will include Easley since is along HWY 123 and in Pickens County just adding my guessing in), Mauldin, Wellford, Inman, Berea, Lyman, Startex, Roebuck, and White Stone.

With all these Cities and surroundings that Pretty much covers the Whole Upstate at least around the I-85 Corridor of South Carolina just needs to get to Gaffney and Anderson area's this is like a huge LTE cut on
[Thunderbolt General] PhantomApollyon:
I was connected to 4g for a few hours early this morning in Mauldin before it went back off. :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyOr:
Hi, I got a problem with the usb cable...

Tried all usb ports, tried with other computers... nothing helps.

The computer detect the nexus one, no problems.

When I Turn On the usb storage its recognize the SD card, and I can get into the SD, also I can delete files but when I'm trying to copy files (to SD) seems like its start copying the files but then stops and its get out from the usb mass storage mode.

I tried this also:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=613217

Also, tried to uninstall the drivers with USBDeview [http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html], and install again with the new drivers...

also reset the computer / nexus one ...

still same problem...

any suggestions ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyOr:
The problem might be with the cable ?

I tried it also with at least 4 other PCs, none of them detect the nexus via this usb cable, except of 1 that had the problem above.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
I had the same problem as you with CM7, are you using Cm7 or any other custom rom?

If i put the phone in airplane mode the transfer was always succesfull and didn't get out the usb storage mode. Then i disabled it and tried it again and failed sometimes. I noticed that everytime it failed i got a message (notification) so i found out that the problem was in the notification. so when the app is on sd and android wants access to the app it will disable the storage mode en grant access to the sd.

This only happend on custom roms, after flashing stock rom everything was fine again.

If you have the same symptoms as me you can try to transfer a file in airplane mode and maybe, if you on custom rom, try a stock rom.

Hope this will help, goodluck
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyOr:
Thanks for answer mate.

I'm with Geo rom, I tried the Airplane mode but nothing change..anyway, I also tried 2 usb cables of friends who have Galaxy S, and it both works just fine!

Seems like the problem is with the cable, so I order 2 new cables.

Thanks again for the help!
[Atrix 4G General] Smallsmx3:
Ok....so the nexus phones are the pure google experience. There are a couple other phones ( not many ) that are vanilla. Most of the major manufacturers create their own version of android for the consumer. Most of us buy android because hardware wise they are cutting edge and android as an os is open source. Manufacturers go through a great deal to lock down there version when most of us want a clean slate to work with. Google has stated that starting with 2.3 there are enough features that it would not be necessary to skin the os. Why is it so hard to get the pure experience? I know I could go by a nexus one or nexus s but I don't want to shell out full price for a nexus one ( which is also old tech) and I don't want to switch to tmobile to get a nexus s ( which isn't that much more innovative than a Nex one). So now here most of us are on att with the most powerful android phone rocking gingerblur trying to strip this phone of everything blur to get back to the pure google experience. I just wish that there were more top of the line phones with vanilla android.

On a side note why would motorola make such a beast of a phone and skin it with an os that focuses on social networking? Im so glad I have dual cores. I can fly through facebook
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
+1 My sentiments exactly. MotoBlur should have died off with the Backflip.
[Atrix 4G General] Greenbelt:
Perhaps those at motorola who would make the decision to ditch motoblur also rely on motoblur to remain employed.

Just a thaught.
[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:
Yeah, Motoblur is definitely the wost skin for Android. The first thing I did when I got my Atrix was install Launcher Pro Plus. Got rid of Motoblur without even using it once.
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
Potatos potatos. I actually like motoblur for several features.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
The people that develop the software don't make the decisions to keep it going.

Why can't they just implement the MotoBlur Applications Platform that's on the D2, DX, and Droid Pro? You would still have those features.
[Atrix 4G General] frankiedizzle87:
I think blurr is great for low end phones because the skins useful for newbies but damn come on... the world most powerful phone couldn't make this motoblurr horse **** shine lmao

Sent from Atrix ;-)
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
They should have used Blur as a foundation for a feature-phone set, just like what HTC is doing with their Sense and Brew MP
[Atrix 4G General] MarcMaiden:
The same reason why HTC has Sense, the same reason why Acer has their liquid interface, the same reason why LG has their own skin.

To be different.

If all phones had vanilla android, there is no reason for you to buy a phone over another. For example, the LG X2 and the Atrix are almost identical in hardware (save the webtop and extra ram for it). if they both had vanilla android, the only real deciding factor would be form factor.
[Atrix 4G General] slvrnsx:
its a great phone
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
The only deciding factors should be hardware specs, form factor (slate, keyboard, etc.), and execution. If the Atrix just had Vanilla Rom it would probably be a top seller giving the iPhone a run for its money (but not really). These overlays like Sense, Blur, and TouchWiz was a good idea when Android was still in Donut or maybe even Eclair but now it's pointless. It just hinders the OS and delays updates. And if I want to go from an HTC to a Moto I have to recreate an account now from Sense to Blur. Stupid. The consumer absolutely has no choice whatsoever. And now with AT&T swallowing T-mobile up we're going to have less choices.

[Streak 5 General] kaheimatthew:
as we know, SD 1.9 has few launcher

they are

GB (using "noapps" in install.txt???) , adwlauncher, launcherpro and dell stageui.

what i wanna know is there one of them run the fastest and battery last longest time??

or just they got the different appearance??

thx~:)
[Streak 5 General] MySeLfPT:
First of all: you can just install noapps and then install whatever launcher you prefer and remove the old (via titanium backup or root manager e.g.)

Between the launchers that are available by default I personally only tried AWD, launcher pro and stage UI and gb.

- Gingerbread launcher wont give you portrait so if you need that scratch that of the list.

- Dell stage UI is a resource hog (battery and performance wise it gets worse) but it has lots of nice widgets and eye candy.

- LauncherPro is fast and the more popular one. There is a paid version with a lot of good widgets.

- AWD is slower then LP but packs more features and allows more customization (themes for icons, wallpapers, etc). Only downside being the lack of thos good widgets (that both Dell stage UI and LP have).

- From what people say Zeam is probably the fastest but i never tried it.

But more important than all that try to figure it out by yourself. Its a personal thing of likes and dislikes and in the end youll probably choose based on something else.

1 - Look for the launchers in the market (Launcher Pro Plus, ADW launcher EX, Zeam launcher, Go Launcher, etc) (or just search for "launcher").

2 - Install the launcher of your choice.

3- press the home button and choose the new launcher.

4 - Use the launcher and explore at your will.

5 - Uninstall Launcher falling back to your previous version.

6 - repeat steps 1 - 5 until you find your favorite.

7 - Uninstall other launchers that you don't use (and if it is the system one you can allways delete / freeze them with Titanium backup).

Have fun! :)
[Streak 5 General] kaheimatthew:
I am thinking between launcherpro and adwlauncher, these two really catch my eyes, and I am going to try

thx for ur reply, its really useful
[Streak 5 General] kaheimatthew:
How about upgrade to 1.9 from stock 2.2 directly??

Is it possible to do simply with streakmod??
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Yes it is.
[Streak 5 General] kaheimatthew:
thx again

And I am going to use adwlauncher, since launcherpro needs to pay for some fumctions.....
[Streak 5 General] trf000:
go launcher ex allows you to lock in portrait mode, is free, and allows you to add up to 30 screens i think. downside is it is 5x5 max in columns and rows making it harder to do cool layouts.
[Streak 5 General] kaheimatthew:
actually I don't mind using wot landscape mode, Coz I hold my streak with both hands and typing faster in landscape

I think 5x5 is enough, don't u think so??

anyway thx so much for your reply, I will try go launche later

thx so much
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
I use ADW and even bought ADW EX from the market.

5x5 is annoying. It leaves you with big gaps between the icons and doesn't allow you to utilize the streak's 5" screen. With ADW, launcher pro and others, you can adjust the amount of columns and rows on the launcher and app drawer.

My suggestion is that you sit down and go through all the settings in launcher pro and adw, set each of them up to how u like it to and see which one you prefer :D
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
Launcher 7 is pretty cool but a little laggy for my taste.

Sent from the almighty Dell Streak 1.9.0
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
Adw trends to run quicker for me than launcher pro plus. I tried using stage for the past few days but it is a big resource hog. It's too bad though because I like the new version.

Dell Streak powered by Streakdroid 1.9.0
[Streak 5 General] kaheimatthew:
I played with adw and launcherpro yesterday for whole day. I perfer using adw, Its close to my taste
[Streak 5 General] kaheimatthew:
I am using sd1.9 now, but the BB is still 31500

Do I need to update to 345/340???
[Streak 5 General] .cruiser:
+1. ADW is snappier for me too compared to LauncherPro on Steve's 1.9.0.
[Streak 5 General] kaheimatthew:
Yes, I think so.

adw is really smooth,

and also compared with launcher pro, Adw closer to my using style
[Streak 5 General] gdc1114:
FWIW, I'm finding the (default) Gingerbread launcher very nice. It is landscape-only, but that is my preferred way to using my Streak anyway. I've had no glitches with live wallpapers or anything else for that matter.

I've only used the 2.1 stock, ADW and Zeam previously, but decided dj-steve might actually know something by including the GB as default. ;) I'm not disappointed.

And 1.9 is way-cool.
[Streak 5 General] snowe2010:
I just like using a simple screen without much flash. LauncherPro is snappy enough for me. Maybe not as fast as the others, but decent enough.
[Streak 5 General] kaheimatthew:
zeam is quick and smooth, u guys can try!!
[Streak 5 General] iamsupertubasam:
If only they had a launcher that combined the elements of launcher pro and adw. I really like the eye candy that the transitions give you on launcher pro, but I love the themes and customization of adw. :( hard to pick one.
[Streak 5 General] .cruiser:
By the way, SPB Shell 3D is now available and is definitely worth a try. The 15 mins you get to decide before seeking a refund is enough for a trial. Runs great on the Streak and it seems to have improved battery life for me over Stage.
[Streak 5 General] goyjuss:
I don't think that I could use anything but zeam from now on. It doesn't have all the features that you would find on Launcher Pro or ADW, but it has everything I need. Simple yet useful.
[Streak 5 General] wolverine9827:
I saw that SPB came out with that for Android... pictures look really nice too... What ROM are you running it on? Thanks for the info....

[HTC EVO 3D] LoveisPeace2012:
So a couple days ago we found out that the HTC thunderbolt had a locked bootloader which was surprising since HTC has always been very largely supported by the community, a lot of people said it was Verizons douchbaggery. Now it appears the HTC Incredible S, the unlocked handset from HTC released in Europe also has a locked bootloader. This is extremely dissapointing.( like the droidx and atrix from moto, which still have not been cracked). The chances that this new Evo 3ds bootloader are locked, is high and frankly the only thing keeping me with HTC is the community and their support but this is a slap to the face. There hardware cpu,gpu,displays,cameras etc suck compared to Samsung or Motorola only their build quality is great. But if this new Evo is locked down I'm done with HTC!

[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
This really means nothing, because as it has been in the past, so shall it be in the future. Bootloaders are just a door that many dev's are waiting to just kick in, so saying its locked means jack. They are just waiting to break it so their legend can live on.....If this keeps you from buying it, oh well. I know for a fact there will be thousands of others who will buy it, starting with me.

Yup, the shift has the same locked bootloader and signed update images that the Evo, Incredible and every other HTC phone has. On top of that the sd card was locked out from the hboot as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
CPU gpu? Scorpion chip set over clocks easily to 2.0ghz. Screen? Qhd. Camera? HTC just went with new software programing and new optics for much better pictures. The evo 3d will be far from locked down and its a solid phone. Get the one year old nexus s then lol

[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
Honestly, I don't think it will come as locked down as the TBolt and Inc S...but even if it does, I'm still going to buy it. The TBolt fell to perma root in, what, 4 or 5 days, if that long?

With the devs we have here, even if it does come locked down, it'll be open within a week or so. I hate to see HTC doing the Moto thing, but I'm not concerned about the future of custom ROMs/Kernels on the E3D.

Hopefully this gains steam here at XDA.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyrical1278:
On one hand I can understand why they might do this. I mean people are still riding with their G1s despite the fact that it is beyond outdated tech. But the dev community keeps it alive and well.

Also these companies do have a responsibility to their shareholders to say well we do lock our devices down as best we can to protect the bottom dollar (basically saying we want to force people who keep up with tech to upgrade as much as possible.

On the flipside of it all, you can clearly see how the dev community has helped HTC since their WinMo days. I know we are but a small subset of their user base, but our dollars count nonetheless. And when we let what the devs are doing influence our phone purchasing power

(which I know I do because I chose an Evo over an Epic because I felt what was going on over here was just more multi faceted (sense, AOSP, blur, and other options) than what was going on with the Epic)

But these companies KNOW what we are doing to their phones just as much as these carriers know. They don't want us to remove their bloatware because that is money. But we strive to remove it anyway and they still might not care because we still pay our monthly fees.

So I take locked bootloaders with a grain of salt. Android will ALWAYS be open and there is nothing that these companies can do to stop that. Once these companies notice the miss sales and such, then they will take a less noticable stance to it all. But in the meanwhile, I expect the Evo 3D to be cracked possibly hours after it is released.

It never takes long

(sorry for the long windness, I hardly post much)
[HTC EVO 3D] unknown1205:
im pretty sure the evo 3d will get cracked but my friend has a droid2 and it still hasnt been cracked after this long. its his first android phone and because i cant change the kernel for him, his out of box experience with the droid2 and his first android is a horrible experience and now he wants an iphone instead.

being a tech guy, most of my friends come to me for recommendations and never will i recommend a phone to anyone with a locked bootloader. (unless its been cracked) motorola just lost alot of business, with the release of the atrix, i tell people not to get it either.

just a few days ago, my friend from at&t was going to upgrade his phone. he had the option to choose the atrix or the htc inspire. despite the atrix having much better specs, i had to tell him to go with the inspire simply because the bootloader is not locked.

JTAG

There, now it's unlocked. Are you happy? It ain't that hard.

Just a little more work from the point and click.

.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rakeesh_j:
You're assuming that a JTAG footprint would be available. And sure, in most cases it is. However it's easily possible to make the non-factory CPU's just ignore it.

Besides, you're talking about permanently wiring something akin to a console modchip to the phone, which would be very impractical given how small these phones are.

And even then, they can throw down updates that would cause your phone to shut down or go into some limited use mode if the jtag port is being played with.

[HTC EVO 3D] crabjoe:
6 months is a long time for an Android phone. So if something comes along with similar specs that's easy to unlock, you might lose dev support. Also, there's nothing that says it might get unlocked. Look at the Moto phones...

So, even the Droid 2 has fallen to the root. Hopefully, Sprint and HTC won't make it quite so hard and will continue to turn mostly a blind eye a la the Evo, but either way, the Evo 3D just looks too cool to not get.
[HTC EVO 3D] cloths55:
There are a number of phones with locked bootloaders, the thing to look for is if the bootloader is encrypted, like in Motorola's case.
[HTC EVO 3D] EndlessDissent:
Well, there's a difference between "root" and "full root". In the Droid 2's case, yes, they have root. There is also root for the Droid X, and even the Atrix. This type of root, however, is not "full root", or "NAND unlock", which is what is being referred to by most posters in this thread. Because Motorola encrypts the bootloader, you can't unlock the NAND, which is essential for installing custom recoveries and kernels. If you can't install custom recoveries and kernels, you're stuck with variations of the stock ROM, like users of post-Droid 1 Motorola phones. That will severely limit options for both developers and end users.

[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
It is truth the root is better in a sense to get more out of your phone with kernels and roms but that's one thing the apple gets it right out of tgr box. Great battery life and fast and nice looking OS, I like android a lot and my evo as well but for the regular consumer iPhone looks more appealing because they don't have to deal with hacks to get stuff working or to see the speed of the OS I know cause I'm a iPhone user too(before android) and the 3GS being the old still kick ass out of some phones like the epic(besides cameras) or the Droid 2, thank God I like to mess around with my phone otherwise I would stay with iPhone missing the Widgets and open deveploment :) is a bad and good thing :)
